I have a 2 1/2 car garage, and after many years of wishing, I am finally building a shop in the 1/2 section of the garage. The shop portion of the garage will be 8 feet wide and 21 feet long. The front 8 ft wall has a door into the shop. The 21 ft side wall has a window in the middle and the rear 8 ft wall has another window. I have ordered cabinets that cover 19.5 of the 21 ft wall. 3 six foot high double door chests, 6 upper cabinets, 2 lower cabinets with doors, 2 lower cabinets with drawers and 12 feet of stainless steel counter top. I am planning on installing 32" high galvanized steel pegboard between the counter top and upper cabinets. Here is what it will look like:
Here is the garage after spending a day clearing it out and cleaning it up.
Here is my project list so far:
1. Clean out garage
2. Add additional electrical outlets (convert 2 existing outlets to 4 plug and add 2 more 4 plug outlets)
3. Add horizontal 2x6's at 32" and 86" to mount lower and upper cabinets to
4. Add insulation
5. Install sheetrock
6. Mud screw holes and seams
7. Prime and paint walls
8. Trim windows and door
9. Install cabinets
10. Install galvanized pegboard, including cutouts for electrical outlets
11. Upgrade lighting from 3 light bulbs to 3 4' LED shop lights
Electrical service is one existing 30 amp circuit, so no welding for me! I am also planning on using my existing 2x5 Harbor Freight wooden work bench as an island. May get another one so I can configure it as 2x10 or 4x5.
Any suggestions on anything I have not thought of?
